Concentrate Feed Handling Methods And Costs By Dairy And Beef Producers--Selected Utah Counties, 1961-1962, Kendell W. Brinkerhoff

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Utah is historically an agricultural state with many resources adapted to livestock production. The beef and dairy industries in Utah account for 40 and 15 percent respectively of the total receipts received from agricultural marketings (7). Utah's resources are less adapted to poultry production compared to livestock production. Nevertheless, poultry production represents a significant portion of the total agricultural receipts. Production of livestock and poultry have expanded beyond the state's capacity to produce concentrate feed to benefit from economy of scale and to increase farm size through intensification. This feed deficit in Utah must be supplied from sources outside the …

Experimental Study Of Tissue Eosinophil Transformation, Ferrell R. Campbell

Biology

An increase in the number of eosinophilic leukocytes has long been recognized as an integral part of the cellular response of the body to parenterally introduced foreign proteins. Although the function of eosinophils is poorly understood, high eosinophil counts have been associated with the antigen-antibody reactions resulting either directly or indirectly from hypersensitivity.

The Secret Of Viral Reproduction, George W. Cochran

Faculty Honor Lectures

Nucleic acid is the basis of life. There are 2 types, ribose nucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA). DNA, the material found in the chromosomes within the nuclei of the cells of most living organisms, bears the genetic code that determines all of the characteristics of a living organism. Information from the DNA of the chromosomes is carried to all parts of the cell by one type of RNA called messenger RNA. Additional specialized RNA molecules are found inside the ribosomes, tiny bodies within the protoplasm that make proteins for the cell. Still other, smaller RNA molecules, called …

Early Female Maturation As A Factor Related To Early Marriage, Arnold Gene Taylor

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

While the number of youthful marriages in the United States is increasing, evidence continues to indicate that a significant proportion of these marriages is unstable. The marital failure rate and the extensive problems associated with early marriage have caused widespread concern and have stimulated research and theory formulation in this area.

The Need For And Ability To Support A Program Of Cooperative Vocational Business Education In The Salt Lake City High Schools, Calvin Dean Lowe

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The United States Office of Employment Security, early in 1962, reported that there were nearly five million available workers unemployed in the United States (3). An economic recession causing industry to cut back on production, more efficient methods in the manufacturing process, and the rapid changes in labor brought about by automation were listed as a few of the causes contributing to this condition. Another cause as depicted by an industry-produced film, "The Awesome Servant," showed that a large number of Americans that have had their jobs taken over by a machine have not been re-hired because they lack an …

Infrared Spectroscopy As Applied To The Study Of Biochemical Changes Induced By Tobacco Mosaic Virus In Leaf Cells, Banavara Krishnappa Chandrasekhar

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The biochemical reactions occurring during the early stages in the infection cycle of a plant virus are still unknown. Many studies involving bacteriophage and animal viruses that have been made in recent years have provided evidence of the nature of virus infection, but these have not been of much value in understanding the nature of plant viruses. Infrared spectroscopy applied to the study of viral infection processes by Chochran and his co-workers (1960, 1962) have given some clues about the nature of biochemical changes taking place in the leaf tissues as a result of infection with cucumber mosaic virus and …

Effects Of Beaver On Stream Flow And Water Quality, James W. Bates

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Water, one of the major resources of the western lands, controls the economy and expansion of the communities. Industry, agriculture, timber, livestock, game and home water needs are all dependent upon a steady and continued flow of water from wells, springs, and rivers. Water is derived from one source, precipitation, which occurs in the form of rain and snow. Watersheds which are properly managed accumulate a substantial snow pack during the winter which is the life-giving source of water for our springs.

The Utah Water and Power Report (1948) indicates the annual precipitation over the entire state of Utah averaged …

Biosynthesis Of Infectious Cucumber Mosaic Virus Ribonucleic Acid In A Cell-Free Medium, Men Hui Lee

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The mechanism of biosynthesis of the nucleic acids, RNA, remained obscure until 1955 when the announcement was made (14) that an enzyme isolated from bacterial sources catalyzes the synthesis of ribopolynucleotides from nucleoside-5'-diphosphates. It has been shown that the biosynthesis of polynucleotides occurs through the stepwise polymerization of nucleoside-5'-diphosphates or triphosphates. A great deal of research over the past few years has indicated that isolated nuclei from both animal (1) and plant (19) sources are able to synthesize ribonucleic acids in vitro (18).

A Study Of The Effects Of Mastitic Milk On The Quality And Yield Of Cheese, Clayton Shirl Huber

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Mastitis is found to some degree all over the world where cows are used for milk production. It could be classed as one of the most perplexing problems of milk production in the airy industry. The loss to the producer and the manufacturer is of considerable importance.

Today sub-clinical mastitis is probably the most common form. This type of infection is commonly so mild that it passes without recognition. It will be investigated in this study.

The influence of mastitis on milk composition has not been studied extensively. Very little research has been done on the influence of mastitic milk …

Phenotypic Expression And Genetic Analysis Of A New Drosophila Melanogaster Mutant (Eyes-Reduced) Exhibiting A Structural Eye Abnormality, James W. Edwards

Biology

During experiments involving the addition of copper sulfate to the food medium (Turner, 1959), some flies from the tu¹⁵⁰/Cy strain of Drosophila melanogaster exhibited a structural eye abnormality. By inbreeding those flies a new mutant stock was developed. Phenotypically the flies of this new stock resembled the established fourth chromosome eyeless mutants of D. melanogaster, and the new mutant was tentatively designated as eyeless-prime (ey'). Turner described the morphology of ey', and he also superficially investigated the genetic basis of the trait. The purpose of this investigation was to locate the genes associated with …

Genetic And Physiological Mechanisms Associated With Certain Eye Mutants In Drosophila Melanogaster, Afton M. Hansen

Biology

A large number of flies expressing an eye abnormality was observed during the sunmer of 1960 in a "wild" Cockaponsett stock. A review of environmental conditions showed that the temperature had risen to 30 C on several days before the abnormal eyes were detected. Some of the abnormalities resembled certain expressions of known mutants such as lobe and tumorous head. Lobe eyes are reduced and flattened anteriorly, whereas the new abnormal eye is not usually reduced, but is flattened ventrally. The tumorous head phenotype is characterized by abnormal growths in the entire head region, but the new abnormality is usually …

Bear Lake And Its Future, William F. Sigler

Faculty Honor Lectures

Even in such a wide-ranging and eternally changing field as biology, a few statements about certain aspects can be made with a minimum likelihood of their being refuted. In this class are the following: No two lakes are identical. Any given lake is simultaneously many things to many people. A lake is never static. The influence of a lake reaches far beyond its shores.

Bear Lake, Utah-Idaho, can be used to good advantage to exemplify the truth of these statements. It defies meaningful comparison with other lakes unless a mass of detailed statistics is employed. To the fisherman and water …

Graduate Recital, Roger W. Wangerin

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

In the teaching of woodwind instruments, the inherent differences of these instruments with regard to tone production, pitch characteristics and technical problems, make it imperative for the instructor to have an intimate knowledge of these factors. Through actual demonstration by the teacher, the student is made closely aware of the multiple difficulties involved in woodwind instrument performance. It was the writer's purpose in the recital to demonstrate the characteristic tone quality and basic technical facility on each of the major woodwind instruments in addition to some of the standard repertoire for these instruments.
